HOMELESS Scots are risking their lives by sleeping inside a railway bridge 30 feet above the Clyde. They clamber into the bowels of Glasgow's Union Railway Bridge to escape neds who attack them on the ground. Gordon McMillan, 44, one of those who stays on the bridge, says he can't turn in his sleep in case he falls to his death. And he told how he saw another homeless man plunge from the bridge while sleeping and break his back.
